Class Schedule and Syllabi
I teach free, community-based gardening and sustainability classes through Mt. San Antonio College’s Continuing Education program. All classes are open to the public. Please scroll down to view the current offerings and syllabi.
You can also view the full, official class schedule on Mt. SAC’s website here.
Classes are open-enrollment, meaning you can join at any point during the semester. Just see me before or after class to complete the registration form.
If you’re unable to attend in person, my YouTube channel features educational (and occasionally silly) videos on a wide range of gardening and sustainability topics.
